Saying that Raymond’s trainers do not smell of roses is the understatement of the year.

The way to deal with this odoriferous challenge effectively is to grab for your beloved baking soda.

With an elegant gesture, throw a handful of the white powder in the shoes. Shake them happily and don’t hesitate to burst into a song and dance if you feel like it. Leave the clever bicarb to work its magic for the night or even a couple of days if possible. Then, gracefully discard the trainers’ content into the loo without flushing it.
